Under Performing Pc

[thomasl_99]

Hey All,

 

I recently built my new PC two weeks ago and i finally decided to run some bench tests. I was shocked to see that i got a lower score than my old PC with the same settings. I upgraded everything except the graphics card as I have a ASUS ROG STrix 5700xt that is only a coupld months old now.

 

New PC specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x

GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX 5700xt

MOBO: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

RAM: 16GB DDR4

 

Old PC Specs:

CPU: i7 4790k

GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX 5700xt

MOBO: MSI Z97S KRAIT EDITION 

RAM: 16GB DDR3

 

I ran the bench tests on unigine superposition and found that my old pc scored 5339 (average fps: 39.93) and my new pc scored 5236 (average fps: 39.17). I am not sure if there is some sort of AMD Radeon settings that i need to change to optimise my performance. 

 

Any help would be really helpful, i know the difference in miniscule but i had the impression that i should be having at least a decent improvement rather than anything else.

 

Thanks,

Thomas.

Superposition is strange. it is the only bench that my CPU overclock gets a lower score than stock.

You should try other benches.

Is valley or heaven better? I still have screenshots from my old pc’s benchmarks on those program’s so if they work then great because then i could compare my new pc to those results to see what progress ive made.

 

thanks for the response

I use Heaven but it only uses one CPU core.   

Valley does not seem to stress the GPU much so I don't use it.

 

The best ones would be the 3DMark benches since they have a physics test as well.

Thanks again for replying. I ran more benchmarks on valley and heaven and both scores were lower than my old pc. The reason i ran valley as well is because its not my gpu in question as that is the only part that isnt changing over these tests and i am more trying to test the cpu and Other compnents. I will ise 3DMark but because i didnt test my old pc on 3DMark i wont be able to compare any differences.

Gamers Nexus did a video on the i7 4790K with their R 3700X results in it. Maybe it can help.
